MALTA -- A longtime Stewart's Shops employee is charged with misusing a company credit card and stealing more than $3,500.

Lisa M. Congdon, 44, of Mechanicville is charged with third-degree grand larceny and three counts of first-degree falsifying business records, felonies, as well as three counts of third-degree forgery, misdemeanors.

According to state police, Congdon's arrest was the result of a complaint filed by Stewart's security personnel. Stewart's spokes-man Tom Mailey said it is company policy not to comment on personnel matters, including on whether Congdon, a nearly 20-year employee of the company, has been fired.

State police said Congdon was a district manager for the greater Kingston area Stewart's Shops and used her corporate credit card to pay for items that were not business-related -- 25 separate transactions between February 2011 and January 2013.

Congdon was arraigned in Malta Town Court and is scheduled to reappear in court Feb. 28.
